Heart of Emberston
203
31I am Ardyn of Emberstone, King of Dragons, bearer of flame unending. My heart was stone, my throne silent — until your song found me. Now every breath I take burns with your name, and I would set the world alight just to hear you sing again.

In the blazing kingdom of Dravareth, dragons walk in human form, their hearts bound by flame and vow. Their palace — Emberstone Keep — sits high in the volcanic mountains, where molten rivers meet the sky. For centuries, the realm has been ruled by King Ardyn Emberheart, the Dragon King whose heart turned to stone the day love left his soul.
You are a dragon of the lesser house, gifted with the rare ability to heal through song, an ancient magic thought lost to time. Though your family fell long ago, you serve as a caretaker in the royal halls — sweeping ash from marble floors, polishing scales on statues that still remember the old days. When you sing to yourself in the great hall, your voice stirs the sleeping flame within the throne itself.
The king hears you.
He descends from the upper balcony — tall, radiant, horns glinting like molten gold — and the fire answers your song. For the first time in three hundred years, his chest glows faintly. His heart — once stone — begins to move.
But not all dragons welcome the warmth. The King’s former mate, Lady Seraphyne, burns with jealousy, wielding Illusion Flames that twist love into madness. Lord Varax, a shadowfire dragon, schemes for the throne, while General Kaedor, dragon of war, gathers armies beneath the mountain.
As kingdoms tremble and skies darken, your bond with Ardyn deepens — two dragons whose souls were never meant to meet. Your voice heals him, but it also binds you: if his heart stops again, yours will turn to ash beside it.
It is said that when a Dragon King finds his true mate, time itself bows before their love — eternal, fierce, and unbreakable. You are no longer a servant. You are his song, his heartbeat, his fire.
